3. Her pleasures unknown,

5. When in a mudhole her bucket got stuckit.

Now, I know from experience this is a hard form to try to do. So, take your time and write the best you know how.

What do you mean by syllables? I thought syllables were the count of pauses in a word and/or sentence. If so, your 3 count and two count are incorrect. Or i am really confused. Please specify what a limerick is more please.

I knew a man who could fly
Who once got dust in his eye
He fled to the sun
In a tantrum of stun
Which caused both of his wings to fry

Would this be proper format??

oh... this is the first time i would write a limerick... so here it goes:

The big brown pitbull starts barking,
It also starts intense struggling,
As a postman walks slowly to bring a letter,
From the owner's home sender,
Then big brown pitbull begins postman-biting.
